Something I haven't seen mentioned is Ghosts. Recently got caught up on it and it's definitely a fun watch!

Super old show called scrapheap challenge or junkyard wars, which depends on whether it's the british or american version. I loved this show as a kid.
Iβll take the UK version any day. Robert Llewelyn did a great job as host. Did anyone ever have a successful build using hydraulics?

Shrinking is excellent
I'm watching the dune show, it's not great.
I'm also watching creature commandos which is pretty good if you don't mind animation.
Right now I'm watching silo (apple tv+) and Gilmore girls. They are nice
I'm on my fourth watch of Gilmore girls. Third with my wife. First with my daughter.
Absolutely brilliant TV.
Yeah, I've seen like 10 episodes so far and I love it already. I love her sarcasm and effortless humor
DanDaDan on Netflix is bonkers.
Foyle's War. A British drama about a detective in England during World War 2.
Excellent acting, and the period backdrop is very well-written. Gives you a bit of a sense of what it was like to live during that period.
Arcane
Second season wasn't the best
! Viktor literally wanted to make an utopia, and he is a villian? !<
Yeah and powder was just trying to free her people. A central theme of the series is good people doing bad things for good reasons. Calling any character a villian feels like missing the point to me.
I don't agree s2 wasn't as good but not for that reason.
I recommend βSeveranceβ on AppleTV. Also recommend βShining Girlsβ. AppleTV is free this weekend.
- Shrinking
- Sopranos
- Severance
- SAS Rogue Heroes
Season 2 of Shrinking has been a very emotional ride, but has a good mix of comedy & drama, while addressing some difficult topics.
Sopranos is a classic. Depends if you like long character development.
Severance is a great dystopian show about people essentially hating to work. Season 2 should be out shortly.
SAS is an expensive BBC production following the formation of the SAS during WWII. Has a Band of Brothers type feel to it, with a British twist. They're all madmen. Cinematography is amazing, and the history, while dramatized, is still impressive. It's based on the book of the same name by Ben McIntyre (non-fiction).

I've been doing Doom Patrol lately, switching between it and What we do in the Shadows.
I can recommend them both with the caveat that I'm not very far into either.

I just finished Monster, an anime from 2004 that is really good
Frazer Cain recommended Dr. Stone, an anime series that features the scientific method prominently in a scenario about rebuilding civilization. I haven't watched it though. I don't agree to the Netflix terms of service with stalkerware and exploitation.

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.
The Traitors has just started in the UK. It's essentially a game of Werewolf with tasks.
The first season of this was good, they used regular people. You cared if they lived or died.
The second season is full of your typical big brother wannabe narcissists. You don't care if they die, you just care which ones die first.
It's watcheable. There's also a weird obsession by the production to play shitty emo covers of popular pop songs in tense moments. Baffling choice, but I guess originality is too hard

Landman.
I'm usually not crazy about BBT, but in this case, he really carries the show IMHO.
He's also good on Goliath.
No Good Deed is really good, although it moves pretty slow.
